Welcome Y'all ๐ค . I'm into animal rescue and rights. Positive vibes and activism! ๐ป๐ It's been interesting for the past 20 years. Good folks on here and a great ๐ writing community. It's time for rethinking my writing and growing as a person . Sharing how to help others and ourselves ๐ has always been my motivation! Hugs ๐ค to new and old peeps!

Hi y'all ๐ ๐ค it's been 2 weeks since posting my blog. I haven't been in the right headspace for writing or reviewing to be honest. Below is what I shared in goals.( I'm in the waiting room now.) I missed the Friday weekly update and almost gave up on showing up today. Last week was tough and putting words together beyond making lists was beyond my ability. We've been in a drought but Monday went to the store and on the way home,it started pouring. Sis was scared ( something that doesn't happen) because she couldn't tell where the lanes were. I kept her in the lane by saying "yes" when she asked me " Am I in the right lane?" She was also screaming at me and apologizing. Thank God ๐ we made it home safely and know she can't drive in the rain. I'm at the eye injections place with her. I've been spending more time watching TV with her, as she can't do much else right now. We are waiting for an appointment with the low vision specialist. The glasses are our only hope... They are between $400 and $ 4000. Hoping she can get a payment plan and for what it's worth, I'll make a GoFundMe. I'm going to copy this so I can post my blog with it. I'm having a endoscopy on Friday, so update may be Saturday. This week I want to play my guitar ๐ ( the last time I played was June, when I got it.) My good friend Mabs called me this weekend and was so supportive and such a beautiful person and blessing in our life. #1 play my guitar #2 post my blog. If can will do more. Prayers for all here and especially for others struggling with health issues like me. Amen ๐ ๐๐๐ค Back to Blog ๐ธ! It's a blessing to have a friend who understands that you aren't doing well and is there to hear your rants and encourage you to get through it all! She encouraged me to play my guitar again and not worry about making videos, just play! It's been rough not having weed for the past month. It helps with the pain and relaxes me . Some folks had promised to help with it. In the end it was lies and no deposit or return. So have given up on any help with that. Just struggling along! I miss Ballet ๐ฉฐ and hopefully will find a way back to it. It would be so easy to give up. The pain is so bad each day for a while. It's not my style to quit so here I am, for better or worse! I used to have very bad migraines for years and the past two years they stopped. I had 2 this past week and one was really bad ๐ bummer. Keep on trucking ๐ I had a great time with the kitties ๐ป Maxy and Mojo hang out while I'm cleaning ๐งน ๐งผ the kitchen after TV and dinner. Then we have playtime ๐! I really should share some pics here ๐. They have a new toy ๐ช ๐งธ called a cat charmer. It's a plastic stick with a long strip of colored felt. They love to attack it! We got them a pumpkin Halloween ๐ cardboard house and they like it ๐! I also have catnip bubbles and they like watching them fly and pop! It's a nice way to end the evening ๐. I need to get back to cutting their nails. Getting long again. I see some other folks here are having a rough time with health too. Maybe we should get a group together... On the mend! |
| Hi y'all ๐, this has been a rough week for most people I think. 9-11 causes memories to come flooding back. Where were you 24 years ago on that day? I made this part 1 because not all of the above can be covered in a short blog post. Last year on WDC many people here posted about how 9-11 affected them. When they first realized what was happening on TV was real... People added to the many comments, including myself. I'm thinking about writing my experience as an article instead of a post or another comment. To be included later in another post. The awful news of Charles Kirk being murdered on a Utah College campus was a big focus this week... My sister and I had never heard of him before this but felt this was a horrible thing. The hate has gotten so bad and too many young people are making guns the answer to solving problems... People are talking about the spiritual warfare happening and have been for years, but it's gotten worse and more violent. People are making the wrong choices more and more... This week I was reading the Spiritual Newsletter in my WDC inbox and felt connected to something positive. To others on a positive level ๐๏ธ. I've been having trouble reviewing for a while but today ( Saturday the 13 the of September) I gave 2 reviews and will include which ones In the hope ๐ ๐ค people may find some hope also. I had made a photo album on Facebook last month, It's called " Faith comes in many ways โค๏ธ". I've had many over a lifetime and think about writing about it. Two ladies shared their experiences and it encouraged me to really think about sharing my experiences. These are very awesome and honest!
Why do Catholics do that?
